On August 11th, Akron Aeros fans will have an opportunity to enjoy a baseball game with some unusual company – their pets! Tickets will be sold at discounted prices through Pawsibilities, the Humane Society of Greater Akron to benefit their organization. This event makes for a great family night out, that includes the entire family! Not only will it be a great time, but this event also helps out the abused, abandoned, and neglected animals of Summit County.

The Akron Aeros partners with Pawsibilities, the Humane Society of Greater Akron annually to promote family fun and educate the public on our mission. This event is a great way to raise funds to support and these homeless animals.

SAMANTHA IS A LOVELY LONG HAIRED GREY TABBY WHO IS LOOKING FOR LOVE. She's a very sweet cat who was thrown out of her home on the West Side of Cleveland and was eventually found under a porch. PAWS was called, and now Samantha is in a loving and caring foster home with other cats. She is looking for a family who will not kick her out again.

Samantha is about 5 years old, a lovely grey color, and somewhat on the heavy side. She has been spayed, tested and is up-to-date on her shots. Sadly, she has been found to be FIV positive but due to her sweet and gentle nature, is not a threat to other cats as FIV is spread between cats only through biting and bleeding.

Now, we can turn the hair into a valuable resource to help soak up the oil spill in the gulf with the help of Matter of Trust.”
